No, it's not Stephen Strasburg who might command a $50 million salary before ever pitching in the pros. Instead, it is Danielle Lawrie, a softball pitcher from the University of Washington.
What are her credentials?
Lawrie went 38-7 with a 0.84 ERA and 477 strikeouts in 315 innings. While Strasburg generally pitched only once a week (wimp!), Lawrie pitched 12 consecutive complete games in the last three weeks of the season, starting and finishing every game for the Huskies during the regionals, super regionals and College World Series. She threw 395 pitches and two complete games in one day, including a 15-inning game in which she struck out 24 batters.Watch the hilarious results of the 'battle' below (and read the accompanying story as well):
